Analysis of A Life For Today
Take it easy upon your self,
as each second,minute and
hours go by.
Enjoy your life,I hear,
forget what is passed,
don't worry,don't cry.
Lift up your spirits,
lift up your heart,
let all sorrow,troubles and
burden go.
Throw them away in the
rubbish cart.
Do this today,
for you and you alone.
Do not impress,
or overdress.
There is no need.
Live for today,as the only way
and to take heed.
